Newsflash for the intellectually challenged: guns are completely irrelevant!

There are certain topics which I really hate. I hate them not inherently, not because they make me feel somehow uncomfortable, but because both sides of the issue are equally repulsive, self-righteous, ideological and totally stupid. One such topics is "abortion rights". Oh how much I hate both pro-lifers and pro-choicers! But today I am going to vent about another topic which fills me with an overwhelming desire to, maybe, "shoot them all!"?Gun control.Rather than going into some fancy analysis (after all, I am only venting, not analyzing), I will just tell each side why I hate them so much.Gun controllers - I hate you because:a) You are totally obsessing over a completely irrelevant topic. Yes, guns don't matter one bit in our society. They matter far less than cars, phones or computers. And if you are going to give me that crap about guns killing people, I will ask you about "car control" or "obesity control". Bottom line: you are like dumb sheep who follow the purely ideological agenda of your political leaders who instead of looking at the real issues want to have you all get upset about a topic which they, the "One Percenters", don't give a shit about.b) Your entire outlook is predicated on a total fallacy: that regulating or banning guns will reduce violence. In fact, it won't even reduce *gun* violence for a simple reason: gun violence is only legal when engaged in by representatives of the state, all other form of gun violence are illegal. And since the action itself is illegal, it is hardly going to be controlled by making illegal the acquisition of the implement needed for the illegal action. Got it?c) You are confusing everything and anything: automatic weapons with semi-auto, clips sizes with calibers, hollow-point rounds with "cop killer" ammo, assault rifles with submachine guns, submachine guns with machine guns, and I won't even go to hunting rifles or knives (which most of you also want to regulate/ban). Most of you see an AR-15 semi-auto and think of it as an "military assault rifle". The fact is you don't care one bit about the "firearms" or "guns" you want to ban, as long as you get to "disarm the brutes" (or so you think). You always begin with "military weapons" (whatever that means) and you end up banning knives and box cutters!Gun righters - I have you because:a) You are actually dumb enough to say with a straight face that giving guns to people will protect them from tyranny. Let me break it to you: not only have their been plenty of tyrannical regimes which were more than happy to distribute guns, a single platoon of well-trained government goons will easily wipe-out several hundred of gun-toting civilians who would be dumb enough to challenge them.b) For all your "concealed carry license" and gun magazines, you fail to realize that 99% of all folks out there cannot defend themselves with a gun. Not with a handgun, not with a rifle, not with an assault rifle. Most folks can only miss and freak out. If you had any common sense you would realize that a dog is far, *FAR* better defense against violence (including gun violence) than a frigging gun. Let me break it to you again: there is a darn good reason why cops regularly go to the shooting range - guns are hard to use. And then, look at how often even trained cops end up doing God knows what (mostly miss, run and duck) when in a shoot-out.c) Most of you cretins think that guns are somehow patriotic. They are not. They are just tools, implements, devices. They are no more "American" than knives or even fly-swatters. The only thing truly American about guns is the mental dysfunction which consists of thinking of guns are patriotic. In other, civilized, countries guns are simply no big deal.A couple of days ago I saw this cretin Obama standing with is VP offering a new set of gun control measures. Half of the morons reacted with delight, half with outrage. And ever since the airwaves are filled with a deluge of imbecilic statements about guns. What is really happening, of course, is this:The USA is ruled by a tiny plutocracy which holds total power over society. There are no liberals here, and no conservatives. All I see is *serfs* who must toil in increasingly worsening conditions to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. And in order to create the ILLUSION of a political life, the One Percenters simply toss in the "gun control" issue, so the pseudo-liberals can "feel liberal" and the pseudo-conservatives can "feel conservative". And as long as you morons keep on taking that kind of nonsense seriously, you are doing exactly what the One Percenters want you do to: arguing about a completely irrelevant topic while your masters are laughing at you.Wake up guys, you are being conned!

WORDS TO LIVE BY:

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew (10:26) and Saint John (8:32)

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety. His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

Holy Prophet and King David (Psalm 145:3-4 according to the LXX)

To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.

Arundhati Roy

Thou shalt not be a victim.Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.And above all,Thou shalt not be a bystander

Yehuda Bauer

In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act

George Orwell

Each small candle lights a corner of the dark

Roger Waters

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Mahatma Gandhi

I am for truth, no matter who tells it.

Malcolm X

Globalize the Intifada!

Lowkey

I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I'm not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win.

What's a Saker anyway?

The Saker is a large falcon which, sadly enough, is threatened (you can find more info on this wonderful bird here). Do these sakers really monitor vineyards? Well, one does for sure!
